WA Gun Background Checks

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Backers of an initiative campaign to require background checks on all firearm sales in Washington have turned in about 345,000 signatures. But The Olympia newspaper reports Initiative 594 backers aren't the only ones turning in petitions. A group backing a proposal to limit gun background checks to the national standard also expects to bring its total signatures to 345,000 by today's deadline. Initiative 591 also would stop confiscation of firearms without due process.
